    Self explainitory really.

    I went with Chris John, although I think Gamboa will be in the p4p sooner rather than later.

    Also state who you think is the weaker out of these four.

    Thoughts?

    Yuriorkis Gamboa seems to be the most gifted, Chris John has been there the longest and probably has the best resume. I say Juanma will come out on top.

    The guy with the full package of boxing acumen, speed, and power is Juanma. He just has to avoid getting too satisfied and not training right like he did with Mtwaga.

    Gamboa has highlight reel speed and power, but has vast technical flaws and will be exposed against top tier guys unless he addresses those things.

    John is obviously the most accomplished, but he clearly got a gift decision years ago against JMM and hasn't really faced anyone of note since then. At least not that I've heard of.

    Caballero is dangerous for any of them, but he's over 30 and looks to be getting the door slammed in his face at every turn. I'd love to see him fight Gamboa or Juanma fight him, to find out just how good he is. He's got 2 losses, but he's 15-0 over the last five years.

    I agree with Vano on that avatar, holmes.

    I'll say Chris John for the time being based on the fact that he's been there the longest and his experience would give him a slight edge over the competition as of right now in my book.

    I haven't seen enough of Lopez and Gamboa to really make a fair assessment and Caballero really doesn't impress me.

    :good I agree with this. I'd like to see him in there with either, but especially Juanma. His power will test most at the weight

    Im surprised no1 has voted Gamboa yet. A lot of people on here were tipping him to beat JuanMa if they met

    Right now it has to be Chris John since he has been there longest.

    However out of that group i see Gamboa coming out on top.
    Chris John i believe can beat JML and im not so sure on Caballero. He i always thought was overrated but he looked very good against Yordan.

    I think Gamboa would beat all of them, but caballero would give him the most fits. Right now Chris John is on top though.

    Gamboa probably is the best of this group.
